Mention drift cars, names like Silvia and Corolla pops up every often, but a Suzuki Jimny drift car? No, some Japanese tuner did just that.

Well, Wakayama-based Kinokuni wanted to build a new demo car to showcase their latest performance bits, and decided that the quirky little Suzuki Jimny suits the bill.

The little Suzuki Jimny drift car only features the body shell of the mini SUV, as under the skin lies a custom tube frame chassis with Nissan Silvia suspension. Kinokuni did not bother with the Suzuki’s 1.3-litre engine, instead fitted a Nissan 2.0-litre SR20 engine.
